Graff of Corcoran and Soutendijk of Cushman & Wakefield lease 1,200 s/f to Mardani at 766 Madison

Fine Minerals International plans to unveil its first public outpost, Mardani, at 766 Madison Ave. The 1,200 s/f space opened in November. The transaction was handled by Corcoran's David Graff and Cushman & Wakefield's Steven Soutendijk, who represented Mardani. Located on Madison Ave. between 65th and 66th Sts., sharing a block with Giorgio Armani, the space was previously occupied by Todd & Duncan fine cashmere. The space will be part art gallery and part living space demonstrating how minerals can be showcased as art arranged in display cases or as decorative items in a home or office. "We are excited to share the awe and beauty of nature's art with a broader audience in a prime location in New York City," said owner Daniel Trinchillo. "With this lease, Mardani Fine Minerals will take its place among the most popular boutiques on Madison Ave.," said Graff. "The large storefront window and coveted location was just the right fit for displaying their eye-catching materials." Fine Minerals International owners Trinchillo and Marisa Chung have been sourcing top-quality minerals for 20 years. The duo owns mines and sources minerals from destinations around the globe including Brazil, China, Pakistan, Tanzania and Colombia. Access to their collection, which includes amethyst, quartz, tourmaline and aquamarine, among others, has previously only been available to private collectors through one-on-one meetings.
